Reclaimed Wood DIY Possibilities

I'm pretty sure reclaimed wood is the best thing EVER!  Like seriously, it makes my heart skip a beat and my dreams EXTRA sweet!!!!  Here are my two best finds so far:

      And now I have this beauty to dream about:
          Here are some of the ideas I'm tossing around and dreaming about!  Wishing you good luck on SPECTACULAR junk finds, too!!!  We've been busy with cub scouts, basketball practices and games, school, birthday parties...and on and on!  I need my hubby to look at it and give me an opinion on how salvageable it is!

          19 Sweet Notes:

          1. I think you need to take that awesome "thing" you found the other day and do a wooden faux painted zinc top and use it against a wall for a table, or do a wooden top on it??

            I had it on my mind this weekend :) Totally cool!

          2. I've seen that library table before and think it is the best idea ever! But now that I've seen the wooden crate bookshelf, I'm going to be buying up all the wood crates I can find on the cheap! Great ideas.

          5. These are all pretty inspiring. Where do you get the pallets from? Is that a stupid question?

            1. Great question! We have a neighbor that gets rid of them all the time...sets them out for bulk trash! I've heard though that factories and stores are getting rid of them all the time and will give them to you!!! Once you have an eye out for them you see them everywhere!!! Normally close to dumpsters!!! Let me know where you find one!!!

          9. I love these! We've been exploring pallets for a while now. So far we've made a pallet coffee table and used baskets for drawers, it's really awesome, if I do say so myself. And a chicken coop! We stuffed straw between the layers of the pallet to provide my urban birdies lots of insulation against the elements.

          14. Love the library table! If I weren't trying to REDUCE the number of books in my house (and therefore, my bookshelves), I would have to hunt down something like that:)

          15. That spool table is to die for! Not too functional in our house. With an 11 month old, crawling around, surfaces below 3' are empty! Great inspiration pics here. I'm visiting from Miss Mustard Seed.

          16. The possibilities are endless to say the least. I would like to make a sturdy stool chair for the kitchen out of drift wood.
